At the center of George Eliot’s vast portrait of the provincial city of Middlemarch, its society and inhabitants, is the story of Dorothea Brooke, a “home epic” of a bright, brave young woman learning how to live and what to live for. Most memorable of Middlemarch’s characters, however, is no character at all, but the imaginative, intuitive, profoundly discerning narrative voice that meditates upon the events and personalities it describes with sympathy and magnanimity.

I met James Mustich at the 2018 ALA conference and when he asked me for one of my favorites, I told him that I had recently read and loved Middlemarch. It remains in my heart as one of my favorite books of all time.

Such an incredible book, the way Eliot portrays the psychological twists and turns, the self-justifications, within each character's mind. A book that teaches compassion and provides true insight into various levels of moral consciousness.

A solid masterpiece - Eliot examines and illuminates human relationships and endeavors and provides insight at every turn. Its universality is remarkable, and one can glean fresh depth and new keen observations on multiple readings.
